As of today I’ve been 16 days with no beer and 10 days with no liquor and my gosh has it been a long time. I decided to not drink beer for a month and just drink water, tea, and coffee. The month is almost over and I couldn’t be any happier, beer seems to make me ohh so happy! Yesterday was the first day I decided to drink wine for the first time in awhile… and it created no type of buzz! Since I haven’t been been drinking I’ve just been stocking up on alcohol for when I decide to start again.
Koko Head
KoKo Head trail has to be my favorite hike/workout in all of Oahu, Hawaii. It’s straight to the point and what you see is what you’ll get…. stairs. This trail is like the stair master times five, but heads up… if you ever choose to do this, I’d advise to do this trail for a sunrise or sunset workout. If you’re planning on doing this between 10:30am and 4pm I’d highly suggest you bring a lot of water and sunscreen, if you’re like me… maybe a beer to have at the top. This hike is worth all the leg pain you’ll go through. Once you’re mid way the views are already breathtaking and I must add the people you’ll meet on this trail are so encouraging and polite. At some point you’ll hear “Great job, you’re almost done!” or little jokes like “There’s free pizza and beer at the top.” If you choose to do this in the morning, it’s perfect before a long beach day! This also is a great trail to either do with friends or by yourself!
Destination, somewhere.
One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.
You are the peace in my troubled sea.
Spiked Lemonade
There’s nothing better than a freshly squeezed lemonade on a hot afternoon, especially when it’s mixed with alcohol. This drink will always bring me back to my younger and can easily be hidden.
Great Lemonade mixers:
- Lemonade & Coconut Rum
- Lemonade & Vodka (Pinnacle Whipped Cream flavor)
- Lemonade & Vodka (Stoli Razberi flavor)
- Lemonade & Jameson
- Lemonade & Kraken Spiced Rum
Coconut Rum
My first home will always be Hawai’i, so my clear liquor go to is always Malibu Coconut Rum. This liquor can bring back memories in all but two minutes, not to mention I feel like it’s a healthy choice. This Rum can be mixed with just about everything, here’s a few of my favorites though:
Great Coconut mixers:
- Coconut Rum & Orange Juice
- Coconut Rum & Cranberry Juice

- Coconut Rum & Pineapple Juice
- Coconut Run & Passion Fruit
Mermaid Water
This mixed drink is perfect for lounging by the pool or relaxing on the beach.

Jameson
I will always be a fan of Jameson, I feel it unleashes my inner guy side. If you know me, I can be a little tomboyish. I love drinking beer, trying new whiskey, playing poker, and can’t deny a beer pong challenge. These Jameson mixers are always my go to. I’m just certainly not ballsie enough to have it on the rocks yet, one day though!
Great Jameson mixers :
